Services
Child Counseling
Our individual counseling sessions are designed to address specific concerns and help clients navigate life's challenges. We aim to empower individuals to overcome obstacles and live a fulfilling life through our collaborative and supportive approach.
Parent Counseling
Parenting is the most meaningful and challenging work of life-especially when your child is struggling. Our parenting sessions offer a nonjudgmental space to explore your child's needs, understand behaviors through an attachment lens, and build practical tools for connection, co-regulation, and growth.

Family therapy sessions aim to improve family dynamics, resolve conflicts, and strengthen bonds. By promoting understanding and effective communication, we help families navigate challenges together and create harmonious relationships.
Our Approach
Family Focused
We believe healing happens in relationship. Our work supports the whole family system, offering guidance and care that nurtures connection, resilience, and lasting change for everyone involved.
Child-Centered
Every child is unique, with their own voice, experience, and inner world. We follow their lead through play-based approaches, honoring their perspective and creating a space where they feel seen, safe, and empowered.
Attachment-Minded
Secure relationships are the foundation of emotional well-being. Our therapists approach each child and caregiver with deep attunement, using attachment-informed care to build trust, strengthen bonds, and support healthy development.
